With larger teams and ever more data, practicing reproducible research is becoming increasingly complex. Those analyzing the data are often different from those who collect and generate the data, and different from those interpreting the data. This can lead to gaps in the team’s knowledge around key data processing or analysis decisions. Transparent, robust documentation is also a key step to uncovering errors. This talk will describe implications of these challenges as well as some generalizable, practical solutions developed within two CTSA Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) units.

UNC NRP November Education Session: Developing a Culture of Psychological Safety in Research Teams
This NRP Education session will be presented by Josh Hinson from the Relational Leadership Institute (RLI). Kelsey Haywood, an RLI alum, will be providing insight into practical use in everyday team dynamics.
UNC-Chapel Hill recently announced initiatives for enhancing engagement with AI and cloud technologies across our campus community. Want to get a better handle on what some of these terms mean? In this seminar, JP Powers, PhD, a research data scientist in the TraCS Data Science Lab, will give a beginner-friendly introduction to concepts like AI, generative AI (genAI), cloud computing, and big data.
Seminars in the NC TraCS Data Science Seminar Series will cover a range of topics related to health care data science, clinical data, data engineering, and working in these areas at UNC-Chapel Hill. These hybrid seminars will be held on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the NC TraCS suite on the 2nd floor of Brinkhous-Bullitt or via Zoom.
